WHY DRINK LOOSE LEAF TEA?

Loose leaf tea is better for you than bagged tea. Loose leaf tea utilizes whole tea leaves, fruits, herbs and spices allowing the full flavor and health benefits of each ingredient to steep into your cup. For bagged tea, the tea leaves and ingredients have to be chopped into tiny pieces in order to fit into a small tea bag. Whenever bagged tea is chopped up finely like that, it gives the leaf more surface area. And with that surface area comes more space for the health benefits and flavor to be released immediately into the air. Loose leaf tea, on the other hand, is not chopped up like that. It stays whole and therefore holds onto all of the flavor and health benefits until it unfurls and releases it into your cup. Not only do you get stronger flavor and more natural health benefits with loose leaf tea, but you also eliminate the waste of a tea bag, string, staple, etc making loose leaf tea better for you and for the environment. Once you go loose, you never go bagged.

FUNCTIONAL SEGMENTATION

We segment our teas down into five functional categories based on each tea’s natural health benefits. This way, you can choose your tea based on what you need it to do for you and then pick a flavor profile within that function that fits your taste. This gives you a natural way to energize, slenderize, boost antioxidants, boost immunity and relax.

These are our black and mate teas. These teas
are high in caffeine and help you deal with
fatigue by giving you an added mental and
physical boost. Black tea also has the benefits
of L-theanine, an amino acid found naturally in
tea, that is known for increasing mental focus
and cognitive performance. The energy from
black tea also provides a more steady increase
and decrease of energy, meaning you’re safe
from the typical crash and jitters that coffee and
other energy drinks leave you with.

No, there’s no magic potion and you won’t
immediately blow away in the wind, we call this
group of green teas and oolong teas Slenderizers
because green tea naturally helps to suppress
appetite and boost your metabolism. We don’t
add any diuretic or anything like that. It’s just
what green tea does naturally for you to help you
maintain a healthy lifestyle.

These are all the tea blends that have
antioxidant-rich ingredients. Anti-oxidants are
awesome molecules that help your body fight off
free radicals that damage cells. Ingredients such
as white tea, blueberries, and pomegranates are
all rich in antioxidants and are examples of
ingredients in our Eternity blends to help keep
you looking and feeling young.

Our immunity teas are all rooibos and herbal
tea blends. With ingredients such as mangos,
pineapples, oranges, ginger, turmeric and
hibiscus, these blends are packed with a variety
of vitamins and nutrients to help you keep the
sniffles away. Since they’re all herbal and
caffeine free, they’re also great if you’re already
sick and need to rest and recover.

These are our herbal and rooibos blends that
are here to help you unwind and destress after
a long day. Their ingredients such as
cinnamon, mint, lavender and chamomile,
these teas produce relaxing effects for both
your body and your mind so that you can put
your feet up and get a great night’s sleep.

Matcha is famous around the world for its variety of
health-boosting benefits. Matcha’s unique powers
mainly derive from its high levels of L-Theanine,
which helps your body and mind relax while
maintaining your focus and concentration.
Matcha can be enjoyed on its own or mixed into
your favorite beverages.

HOW TO BREW LOOSE LEAF TEA

Brewing loose leaf tea is just three easy steps. First things first, you’ll need a mug, hot water, your loose leaf tea and an infuser/steeper. Your infuser can be anything that will strain the leaves from your hot water. If you have a tea ball, tea basket, tea pot or French press, any of those work great.

HOT TEA

1.5 TSP TEA PER 8 OZ HOT WATER

STEEP BASED ON TEA TYPE

The great thing about loose leaf tea is you
can customize it to fit your taste. You can
always brew a tea stronger or weaker
depending on how you like it. We recommend
starting with 1.5 teaspoons of tea for every
8 oz of hot water and adjusting from there.

ICED TEA

1 TBSP TEA PER 8 OZ HOT WATER

STEEP BASED ON TEA TYPE

If you’re making iced tea, our rule of
thumb is “double the dosage”, so use a
Tablespoon of tea for every 8 oz of hot
water. Brew it up hot, steep according to
the tea type and then pour it over ice.
We recommend doubling the dosage so
that the flavor you love is just as strong
when you pour it over ice.

COLD BREW TEA

1 TBSP TEA PER 8 OZ COLD WATER

STEEP FOR 2 HOURS

For cold brew, we also recommend at
least a Tablespoon of tea for every 8 oz
of cold water. To cold brew, add your tea
to your cold water container (our favorite
for cold brewing is our Flash Chiller) and
let it steep in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.
You can steep it overnight if you’d like to
have a cup of cold brew waiting for you
in the morning too.

WATER TEMPERATURE & STEEP TIMES ARE IMPORTANT

If you’ve ever had a tea that you thought was too strong or too bitter, chances are that it was steeped for too long or the water was too hot. This is especially true for green and black teas as they have more tannins that can taste bitter when brewed incorrectly. To get the best flavor out of every cup, follow the guidelines provided here:

We also offer a few of our favorite brewing utilities. Tea
filters are our version of a DIY tea bag that are perfect
for when you are on the go. For these, you simply fill
them with your favorite loose leaf tea, fold over the top
and drop it in your mug. The bag will automatically seal
when it gets wet, so you can walk out the door and toss
it in the garbage or compost while on the move.

TOP SELLER REVIEWS

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE TEAS

Maui Mango is by far my favorite! This is a full-flavored fruit tea
packed with citrus and mango, and it has the perfect amount of
sweetness so you don't have to add any sweeteners. I love
that you can actually make out the ingredients in Tiesta Teas
tea blends as they are not ground down or artificially flavored.
I highly recommend this tea blend and Tiesta Teas!

I love this tea blend. I simply add it to a reusable tea infuser
or my tea infuser bottle and let it cold brew. Such a wonderful
flavor that I don’t have to sweeten it or add anything to it
besides water. By far my fave go to drink for the day.

This is the ONLY tea I've ever tried in my life that actually helped
relieve stress and gave me a good nights sleep. And I've tried
many other teas off the shelf. Wow! I couldn't believe that after
drinking 2 cups of tea I felt the tension melt away and got one of
the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time. This stuff seemed
to have the power of a prescription drug. Without the harmful side
effects of popping a pill. I'm a fan of these guys. I'm finally a
believer. Thanks for putting together this awesome blend!

Caffeine free and DELICOUS! I had to give it a try. I can't
get over how fragrant this tea is and it tastes as good as
it smells. I love the chunks of fruit that come to life when
you add your hot water. I feel I have to add nothing else
to this tea in order to enjoy it. I look forward to trying
some of the other flavors available!
